Tackling Grand Challenges: Insights and Contributions From Practice Theories
这篇辩论文章探讨了实践理论如何帮助研究、理解和应对重大挑战，认为这些挑战是通过日常的、情境化的行动实现的，并呼吁学者同时作为学者和公民采取行动。
This curated debate discusses the value of practice theories in studying, understanding and tackling grand challenges. Practice theories assume that social phenomena are constituted through everyday doings and sayings. Building on this premise, the different contributions in this curated debate go beyond the assumption that grand challenges are abstract phenomena. The authors argue that grand challenges are enacted through mundane, situated actions that are often hidden in plain sight. Building on their research, they suggest that understanding grand challenges requires scholars to approach phenomena as nondualistic. Accordingly, they reveal that situated actions are not self-contained but related across space and time, requiring scholars to adopt a relational perspective. The debate concludes with a call for action as we embrace our dual role as scholars and citizens.
